What a fantastic and elegant car... the design still looks great and timeless. Incredible to see how the rear seat space is beautifully integrated into the side paneling. Just wonderful... and I love those electric hinged windows!
@@aisrael13 I bought it some years ago in Holland when it had about 70.000 (real) kilometers on the clock, and I believe I paid around 6000 euros for it. Nowadays it might be worth a bit more, since prices for Japanese classics have finally gone up a tiny bit. Personally I think they are still undervalued though...
Wow, that’s a beautiful example you got there. I used to drive the same model up til the late 90’s (carburated version) There’s something special about these cars! Would love to find an example over here but haven’t seen any for sale in Ireland for many years
У меня такой в Украине могу вам фото скинуть и видео.Я откапиталил мотор и делал всё с душой для себя и всю ходовку отреставрировал! Хочу поварить покрасить и она у меня на крутых титанах старого стиля драговые.Очень люблю её крутой простой неубиваемый мотор вечный! И он даже понадёжнее покрепче тоёты будет!!)))) Продавать машинку не планирую буду строить её на впрыске с дроселями четырёх катушечные зажигание и хочю новую ГБЦ 8клапанную заказать.будет ракета.
One of my first cars, got me through my final years of high school. Bought it for 2500. Had 331k miles on it before it finally gave up. Thanks for the memories.
I own a Mazda 626 Sedan in Prestige Silver Metallic colour, 1990 model (2.2i Auto) ... bought brand new in Melbourne, Australia as a gift from my father for my 18th birthday. He paid $32,000 Australian dollars for it back then! It's now 32 years old, has done 500,000 kilometres (310,000 miles) and l continue to drive it daily. Has never failed me. Unbelievable car. I cannot part with it. My first and so far, only car ...!! It still looks like new and has always been outside for its entire 32 years, so far. People cant believe it! p.s. Has the oscillating vents as well!!! Still work amazingly! For people seeking Mazda parts ... there is a specialist Mazda Wrecker called 'ALLMAZ' in a Melbourne suburb called 'Clayton Sth'. They have a website .... and are the ultimate specialists in all makes and models of Mazdas, particularly older model 70s, 80s and 90s Mazdas ... they stock over 5 million Mazda parts!!!! They are phenomenal and a treasure to have in Melbourne!
A very nice example I have the same year, same color, same wheels, same interior, the only difference is mine is 5 door hatch and carburated. I looked for a coupe but couldn't find any and this hatch was almost like a barn find so it was in a very good condition so I had to buy it.
@@ericcrama2221 yes it's enjoying a second Life, I'm using it as daily. It's really weird it's so old yet no unusual noise or crackles. Engine and transmission were rebuilt from ground up last year. If I'll make any video I'll post it here. Have a great day.
Greetings from the Midwestern USA. Just bought almost this exact car for $850, but mine is the turbo engine. Just got it to run and it runs pretty good. Lots more work to do, mine was neglected and sat for I'd say the last 10 years or so. Your car is beautiful, I wish I could buy some parts from you lol
Haha, sorry, I´m planning to keep this car in one single part for now. I do have a spare blower motor though (long story), if you ever need it you know where to find me. Congrats on the car Jack, enjoy it!
@@ericcrama2221 Haha thanks man, sounds good. I'm trying to figure out how to get mine to idle and run better now. And then I need to replace the shifter bushings because they are completely shot. And then I need to fix the big water leak from the front door trim. And then replace the rear axle/spindles because someone hit a curb and bent them. Oh well, it's a cool car and I like fixing stuff. By the way, do you think a vacuum leak or bad vacuum lines could cause a poor idle?
@@JackAttak I haven´t the faintest idea... it sounds like you´re quite a lot handier than me. I´m more the kind of guy that buys a car in perfect condition and hopes it will stay that way ;-)
We had that same generation mazda 626 in my country both the 2 door coupe and the 4 door sedan but the coupe came with digital instrument panel while the 4 door sedan had an analog instrument panel... Then we had the ford telstar which is a twin to the mazda 626 carrying the same body parts but just a few cosmetic differences on the front and back, but the doors, suspension engine and transmission were the same design, but the 626 had a 1.6 cc engine while the telstar had a 2.0 cc engine but this particular car in the video its in mint condition looks like it just rolled out from the car factory its well kept 👍
Unbelievable,I had one in 90's a black GC limited edition coupe with sunroof and spoiler.Mine was a manual non turbo carby version.It was the best car,would love to find another here in OZ so if anyone has similar to sell please message me! Mine was first owned by Chris Dittmar here in Adelaide SA Australia,he's a well known sports commentator,ex world no.1 squash player, does the breakfast show here on triple m radio with the great Mark Recuitto! He must have purchased it from Mazda then traded it back cos we purchased it from there with very low kms.Those door cards that open are awesome, you wouldn't even know they do unless someone showed you! Awesome example that one you had,a LHD but wow brought back so many memories! 🍻 Cheers
I wouldn't agree I think they were exciting to drive. The joke is that the 929 was much more expensive but far slower than the 626. Your model is lovely. It looks like it's red lined at 7,000 rpm! Would have liked some commentary.
Hi, thanks for your comments. I do consider sometimes to give some commentary, but I´m afraid I´m just not much of a talker. And to be totally honest, I make these videos more to show off my cars than to create high-quality content ;-)
Если честно эта Mazda лучше!!!!Чем Toyota Corolla.... Toyota курит. в моторе мазда 626.1986 годов f6 f8 Самые крутые движки которые вообще когда либо создавала компания mazda простые как топор вечные как кувалда!💪👍👍👍
@@tewodrosjegnaw8546 Well, personally I would only buy a 626 (or any old Japanese car) if it´s in good shape, because spare parts are rare. Not impossible to find, but if you buy a project car it may take quite some effort to find everything you need.
@@ericcrama2221 yeah, i am from Czech Republic and i have same 626 GC coupe from 85". Brake parts, pins and etc. is no problem, but body parts, axles, lights, interior parts .. unobtainable. Btw. Very nice GC :) I have same color.
